πŸ’… TCIC(4) β€” the Databook PCMCIA controller driver, bestie

✨ NAME ✨

tcic β€” the Databook PCMCIA controller driver

Like, it's literally the driver for Databook PCMCIA controllers. That's the vibe. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

tcic0   at isa? port 0x240 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 0x4000
pcmcia* at tcic? controller ? socket ?

No cap, those two lines are the whole configuration moment. Copy them exactly, bestie β€” port 0x240, iomem 0xd0000, iosiz 0x4000, and all those question marks are doing main character work. πŸ‘‘


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's giving "specific hardware, specific support, no notes." πŸ’…
